Tap a word to mark it throughout the chapter; a morphology code explains itself the same way (in English).
- 1Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
- 2It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge; Nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way.
- 3The foolishness of man subverts his way; His heart rages against Yahweh.
- 4Wealth adds many friends, But the poor is separated from his friend.
- 5A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
- 6Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, And everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
- 7All the relatives of the poor shun him: How much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.

- 20Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter end.
- 21There are many plans in a man's heart, But Yahweh's counsel will prevail.
- 22That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
- 23The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; He rests and will not be touched by trouble.
- 24The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
- 25Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
- 26He who robs his father and drives away his mother, Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
- 27If you stop listening to instruction, my son, You will stray from the words of knowledge.
- 28A corrupt witness mocks justice, And the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
- 29Penalties are prepared for scoffers, And beatings for the backs of fools.
